It is estimated that the new income tax plan will take care of only three of this extra 18 billion dollars. The most likely new tax would be a sales tax—although there are many members of congress who are unalterably opposed to a general sales tax which they say hits the lowest income group too hard. If a sales tax can’t be put through, some enforced savings plan may be the final answer. For many weeks there has been a great deal of talk here about a possible complete breakdown of the Office of Price Administration, which would mean a breakdown of price ceilings and rationing and would probably result in prices going sky high. Most of this talk started when a number of OPA executives resign ed, but there seems to be- no good reason to conclude that such a break down is imminent. OPA is having its troubles, but its head, Prentiss M. Brown, says that the breakdown talk is absurd and that OPA is now stronger than it has been in months. “We now have working for OPA,” Mr. Brown explained, “about 160,- 000 persona, of whom 100,000 are volunteers and 60,000 are paid em ployees.
